removing the spelling errors from a word document

[Andy Fish]

Hi,

I would like to get a word document saved with the spelling and gramatical
errors removed - not just hidden from the screen but actually not stored in
the document.

I am saving the document as XML and found that if I uncheck "check spelling
as you type" (which automatically checks "hide spelling errors in this
document), then save the document to XML, I still get all the spelling and
gramatical errors recorded in the document itself.

I need a solution that can be implemented either using OLE to word itself,
or processing the XML. Crucially, in the latter scenario, it's vital that
any <w:r>s that were split by a <wroofErr> are joined back up to make a
single run (which makes me think it may be easier to find some setting in
word itself than doing it by XSLT).

TIA

Andy
